Light This City – The Unwelcome Savior lyrics

You will find that some of the most exquisite eyes
Mask the cruelest secrets
A villainess in a goddess disguise
I grew to easily distinguish your lies
Your glossy
Sincere smile
Always too eager to please

Everything good
Everything hopeful that you ever said
An obvious falsity
Another loss of innocence
The only truths you’d rarely let escape
Horrifying enough to chill even the most shadowed soul
You fucked up everybody’s life you touched
How’s that for an accomplishment
Surprise
I made you this exclusive key to my closet
Well I never asked to see your skeletons

How many crimes did you commit
Guiltless and without mercy
Before you realized you longed to be caught
In a way
I think you knew your secrets
Would break me and I’d confess for you
If you had played this desperate game more cunningly

Everything good
Everything hopeful that you ever said
An obvious falsity
Another loss of innocence
The only truths you’d rarely let escape
Horrifying enough to chill even the most shadowed soul
You fucked up everybody’s life you touched
How’s that for an accomplishment
Surprise
I made you this exclusive key to my closet
Well I never asked to see your skeletons

I could have been your prisoner
Your protégé
Or your slave
But you succumbed to jealousy
An imaginary rivalry
You’d never admit it
Who could possibly rival a queen
But that’s not at all what I mean

I’d never pit myself against you
You’re right I’m sick with terror
At the thought of being compared to you
But not because I think I’d lose

My one worst fear
Is to become anything like you
